What's a good price for those mixers? My mom wants one--but wisely, she told me to wait until the after-Xmas sales to get it for her--and since I'm no expert in anything to do with the kitchen, I have no idea what to look for, what to spend.

Snowy, the basic model sells for 369.99 USD, but Kitchenaid has a 50 dollar rebate for online shoppers, but I'm sure you can find one on sale before Christmas at a better price at a department store. I got mine for 30 percent off a couple of years ago in December. They're is also a special girly pink one, (so you ) that's more expensive, but some of the proceeds go to help fight breast cancer, and it has a more powerful motor.

As for myself, the only thing I can truly say I'd like is more ways to show my husband how much I love him. This man I married, who is the love of my life and is already the greatest gift I could ever have received in my life, traveled halfway around the world to be with me, gave up his country of birth for me, and gave up a way of life he knew for 30 years to be with me. He works very hard, always tries to provide me with what I need or want, and is my best friend in the world. After being given this gift of true love, I can't imagine wanting or needing anything else in my life.

Last week, Japanese scientists explaced... placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally.~ Napoleon Dynamite

I'm not sure how wonderful is it junkie but they are flying off the shelves and Sears is on back order until at least Dec28.. so if you are going to get oen - now is the time and I bet if you were able to afford 1 or 2 extra eBay would make you a tidy profit!

Just make sure you get the more powerful model Snowie...I'd really love to have one too, but won't spend this kind of money on myself. The pink breast cancer one I saw was the lower power (325 watt), and it was $249. The 525 watt was $369, but I bet you can get it cheaper. Just me--if I actually got one, it would have to be the big one. The mixer I have now is 350 watts and still can get tired If I mix a big batch of roll dough or cookies. If you just want to compare the various styles, check out http://www.fansofrealitytv.com/forums/macys.com although I'm sure there are far cheaper places to get it! I do see some on ebay, mostly the smaller ones but a couple of the big ones too, brand new in sealed boxes.

I bought myself a present today. A new (to me ) car. I bought a '04 Mitsubishi Galant ES with 14,000 miles on it. My '94 Intrepid has 185,000 miles on it. I love that car. I kept it. It's been a great car for me with no major problems. I just was getting a little scared something might happen with that many miles so I broke down and bought another car.

Hey Unk! Congratulations on the car. I'm glad you kept the old one too. When it quits you can put it up on blocks in the yard. What color did you get? Does it have all the bells and whistles that you wanted?
Veronica, my girlfriend buys bonds for her grandkids all time. I'll ask her tomorrow where she gets them. I'll pm you.
